As December is just around the corner, in Paris autumn is still in full bloom and there is no hope of snow any soon, which I'm pretty much disappointed with. The good thing though is...
Adventure time.
In every city there are places whose existence is only known to a tiny bunch of people and often those who know about them rather not venture there. To get there you have to go through fences, holes, and when you finally arrive, you can never know what...
Paris in the rain.
There's nothing like a wet and cold, late November autumn. I was totally looking forward to those heavy rains, gray clouds and crispy, almost-winter air. Hard to believe? Well...
Oh Paris! How I missed you..
After all the October wanderings, I find myself more than happy to be spending time at home, in Paris. During my absence a lot has changed...
Cycling through Copenhagen.
You can visit Copenhagen in many different ways, but for me the bike tour is definitely the best option to see the city. The capital of Denmark is a paradise for cyclists. Bike lanes are conceived almost like highways and the traffic is...
Architectural journey to Copenhagen.
It looks like I'm not meant to be in Paris for more than few days... Shortly after my return from summer Bodrum, I found myself in autumnal Copenhagen.
The capital of Denmark is famous for many things. The mermaid, colorful, charming buildings and impressive amount of cyclists. However, the city charmed me in a very different way...
Last minute sunny escape.
I'm always the first to swear that autumn in Paris is simply gorgeous - all the colors and beautiful light definitely bring out the best of the city. However, at the same time, as soon as I have an opportunity to fly off to the warmer parts of the world...
The city of gold.
It looks like autumn has finally came to Paris. Time runs so fast and it's hard to believe that it's already October. As a photographer I couldn't be more happy about it. Not only there are beautiful, rusty colors slowly appearing on the trees, but also it's getting much easier to find...
Seen on the streets of Paris (1).
If you had a look on the last week's article, you'll know that I particularly enjoy taking photos of black silhouettes sneaking around the city. However it's worth mentioning that just as often I try to give up on shooting those more or less anonymous passers-by and get a closer perspective instead...
Hunting for passers-by with a camera.
Very often taking photos in the city has much in common with playing the lottery. You can never know if there will be anything interesting at all to capture and you need a lot of luck to immortalize a truly extraordinary moment.
This can vary from all kinds of unusual situations or street life scenes...
When autumn came...
The fall season will begin in no more than 10 days, but incredibly high temperatures (more than 30 Celsius degrees this week!) make it feel like it's still the middle of holiday time here in Paris. In spite of these unusual conditions, the first signs of stalking fall could've been noticed even at the very beginning of September...
Rooftopping in Paris.
The beginning of September means going back to school, work and all kinds of daily activities. I'm no exception here and for me the end of holidays is marked by meetings and replying to all the emails that had been accumulating since several weeks. Luckily I'm also busy with...
August dog days.
And so it started! As every year, the end of August in Paris is a period of nearly unbearable heatwaves. When temperatures exceed 35 Celsius degrees in the shade, even the proven methods of dealing with the heat turn out to be unreliable. Drinking ice tea, sitting with the feet in a bowl full of cold water, grabbing all the fans that I can get...
Western Pomerania forests.
August is a real holiday time in Paris. Almost everyone takes a break from their jobs and daily life and goes outside the city. That's why, even if I love empty Paris, I decided to leave it too and spend some time in my homeland Pomerania, near...
Holiday time in Paris.
Every year, the end of July marks the beginning of the holiday season in Paris. Many shops and restaurants are being closed for at least two weeks, everything slows down and the majority of Parisians simply leaves the city, in search of other summer destinations. It might be hard to believe but there are even less cars on the streets! Only the city center is...
There is nothing like Paris, but ...
After various travels it appeared to be quite hard to pull up again in taking pictures in Paris. This must sound rather strange, but even if you're living in Paris and enjoying to be back home, you can suffer from a lack of inspiration. It's not a pleasant feeling, especially when...
Under the Sicilian sun.
All good things come to an end and it couldn’t be otherwise with my trip through Italy.
The sad events in France and the mass of work awaiting me in Paris, made it quite natural to go back with memories to the last, and also the shortest stage of the Italian journey – the stay in...
A long-awaited stay in Rome and Florence.
The last week of the trip through Italy was mainly dedicated to explore Rome, a city that I wanted to visit for a very long time, as well as Florence.
The famous fountains and squares, the Palatine hill, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica... Phew! The list of the absolute must-sees in Rome...
Venezia, Trieste, Bolzano... Never get enough of Italy!
After a relatively short stay at Lake Como and in Milan, a time has come to enjoy the sun and beautiful weather in one of my favorite cities - Venice.
During my first visit to Venice, a few weeks ago, I became convinced that this was the most beautiful city I've ever seen. The second stay in that city...
From Milan to Sicily.
After a little rest in Paris, the time has come for another dose of adventure – a 16-days trip in Italy, starting with a lovely and unfortunately, very short stay at Lake Como.
Southern sun, narrow and winding streets and the most picturesque mountains all around. The little town of Bellagio has it all and it’s hard not to...
